Excellent. Some internal shallow chips from ground lip, four are about 10 to 15 mm long, but only 2 to 3 mm across and shallow, one is 5 x 3 mm and a bit deeper. The external lip has a small slither chip at the top left hand seam, 5 mm x 3 mm and very shallow. The jar itself is shiny, with some internal grime and dirt amongst the external lettering which will clean out. There is a tiny impact mark to the base which is very hard to see. The glass insert for the lid has an internal chip 20 mm by 5 mm. The zinc band is good apart from a small nick at the top. Grade: 8.6 Estimate: $150 - 200
